Jun 22, 2008 golden pour, white head dissipates. light aroma, you can pick out the grape. Flavor is boring, an average pale ale with a touch of dry grape on the finish. Im guessing the home batch tasted a lot better.

Feb 17, 2008 Crystal clear amber body forms a tall beige head that diminishes to a quarter inch and lasts. Banana fruitiness in the aroma along with doughy yeast, and some maple/caramel also shows through. Hops aroma is noticeably absent. Taste is pretty flat and bland. Not much grape, thankfully, but other fruity sweetness is there. No bitterness and plenty of malt body. Medium bodied all the way through, with a fruitiness lasting in the aftertaste of an otherwise clean finish.

Feb 21, 2008 A little too sweet, with no hops in aroma or taste. Brown amber color. Medium head and body. I’m glad they are trying really different brews!

Feb 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle from the LongShot six pack. Pours a nice dark amber color with a small head. Aroma is light with maple syrup. Taste is nice, but nothing too special. Not sure how this one was declared winner.

Jul 12, 2008 12 oz bottle...Amber with barely a head...just some scattered bubbles and a tracing around the glass where beer meets foam...cider/wine mixed aroma...sour apples...sweet and light with an infantile syrup quality....delicate lacing forming....I gave the appearance a 4 because for this style the lacing is appreciated....Flavor is nice--apples , light malt...but it ends a little thin and watery...nice effervescence...I do taste the grapes, mainly in the finish and a hint in the aroma...the delicate lacing sticks through its entirety, so the 4 sticks as well...Metallic finish in the very last sip...thus changing my original 13 to a 12....sorry Lili Hess

Feb 27, 2009 Updated: Feb 28, 200912 oz. bottle to a large snifter. Poured a fairly clear, orangy/amber hue, with a tight, foamy, off white head that reduced rather quickly, but left some sticking lace. The nose was very light with some sweet fruit esters, malt and a little yeast. The flavor was also very light with the fruit, some vinous notes and a little hop dryness, almost tartness, toward the finish. Pleasant and drinkable but the flavors tended to be nondistinctive and thin.

Feb 20, 2008 Pours an amber color with a quickly dissipating white head. Sweet fruity aroma. Grape juice, bubble gum, wheat taste with some hop bitterness and sourness. I shouldn’t rate these things as I’m not a fan of fruit in beers, even the reputable Lambics. This was OK.
